Please listen to this conversation with Joy Johnson of HSV Progressive, myself, and Andrea Alvarez of Huntsville City School Board. Funding from the Educational Trust Fund should stay in already underfunded AL public schools, not siphoned off to fund rich kid's expensive private schools.

Labor behind bars is usually mandatory, and workers earn just pennies per hour.
Nationwide, incarcerated people earn between $0.86 and $3.45 PER DAY for most prison jobs. And in some states, they earn nothing for their work.

The US government doesn’t simply want Americans to support the war it launched with Israel on Iran; it wants to pump people up.

Just because the President deploys ICE agents to airports doesn’t change the facts:
He’s in the Epstein Files.
He started an unauthorized war he can’t end.
Americans are struggling, and he’s failed to pass legislation, even though they control Congress & the White House.
Time for accountability.

Trump fired a Tomahawk missile on a school full of children in Minab, Iran.
Then launched another missile to kill the parents who rushed in to rescue them.
168 schoolkids killed. Then their parents.

We’re told that racism and antisemitism are “over.”
Meanwhile, political leaders are hanging out in group chats where hate is the whole vibe.
Cut DEI, roll back civil rights protections, and guess what happens.
Hate doesn’t disappear. It gets louder.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

NEW: The military systems that the U.S. sent to the Iran region in recent weeks ALONE cost us nearly $60 MILLION per day — just a fraction of the cost of this war.
That ~$60 million could cover Medicaid for 4 million Americans per day, or SNAP for 9.5 million.

Alabama’s CHOOSE Act is set to become universal next year when income caps expire.
Lawmakers are already worried about the cost.
Most recipients weren’t even in public school to begin with.
This was sold as helping poor kids. In practice, it’s subsidizing families who already had ALL the options.

Sen. Katie Britt is praising TVA for keeping coal plants running longer.
At the same time, Alabama just gave up the ability to set stronger environmental standards than the federal government which is now rolling protections back.
Going green doesn’t mean the lights go out.

Senator Katie Britt said the CFPB was harming small businesses.
After enforcement was rolled back, Americans lost an estimated $19 billion in consumer protections from higher fees, fewer refunds, and abandoned fraud cases.
Who exactly benefited when the watchdog stepped aside?

When Alabama approved new prisons in 2021, lawmakers promised old, unsafe facilities would close — saving money.
Four years later:
• Costs have exploded
• Closures are “too hard”
• Old prisons are still open
The savings that sold the deal? Gone.
